The statistics are powerful,
but what if you could meet the
100 people?

We're on a quest to find 100 people that
represent the other 7.5 billion of us.

Our idea is to represent our entire global neighborhood
through photographs and stories, creating
a multi-media traveling exhibition:
the World Portrait.

We're asking the children of the world
to introduce us to the people of the world.
We provide a curriculum for teachers and
students to learn about their community and
nominate people they know and admire.

The nominees span all walks of life--from
a gardener in the Philippines who sings to his plants
to a traditional healer in Niger bringing medicine
to a community to an Australian teacher
building a solar car with students.

We are collecting thousands of nominations
from around the world and will assemble a panel of
global experts to chose the final 100 nominees. The
resulting World Portrait will enable us to
picture this complex world simply:
the World as 100 People.
